Sony Bravia LCD TV dying?

Nah, I think she sees it somewhat the other way around, meaning I've been a diy person since she's known me, and pedals are an extension of that rather than enabling me to do other things. So to her I've been a tv/car/window/toilet/paint fixer before all this pedal stuff over the last two years or so. Probably true of most of us here.  Still funny.

I don't get too much grief about it other than not using all of them. Kind of like why do you need all these guitars?  I can say the same about shoes, but I actually get it. Sort of.

And you're right about the newer tv's, amazing. The neighbor punk kid was making some remarks about our tv a while ago. Which is pretty snobby considering the only difference is theirs is bigger, (too big for their smaller room) and probably came from Walmart.

Whatever you do, don't buy a sony.  I had a sony blu ray player crap out last year.

Yeah, Sony isn't quite the Sony of old is it?

Sadly no.  Great stuff for about a year, and then anything past that is pure luck. It was nice that I had one remote for both. Didn't require the secret code, etc just worked. I'll keep you posted!

Crap!  I just bought a Sony TV about a month ago    Got the extended warranty, though.  The picture was so much better than the others on display.  Only the LG came close.  Maybe the others could have been tweaked to look as good, I don't know.

My daughter's Toshiba lost the board for the HDMI ports after 2 years.  Luckily I got the extended warranty on that, too, so the repair was free.  I used to think extended warranties were a ripoff, but they're almost a necessity now
